Bolus, Gravity, and Intermittent Feeds. A bolus is a tube feed that is given like a meal. Typically, a larger amount is given in a short period of time, usually less than 30 minutes. There is often a break of several hours between feeds. Often, a child receives bolus feeds during the day and a continuous feeding at night. Sometimes infants will receive bolus feedings around the clock since this is a normal feeding pattern for newborns.
The patient should be kept upright for thirty to sixty minutes after feeding. To prevent complications (abdominal cramping, nausea and vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, aspiration), tube feeding should be infused slowly. The simplest method of infusing tube feeding through the PEG tube is called bolus feeding. Tube feed formula is placed within a large syringe and slowly administered to the patient through the plug cap on the end of the PEG feeding tube. In order to meet a patientâs nutritional needs, this may need to be repeated 4 to 6 times per day.
